Hey there, Marcos here.Pleased to meet you.
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with innovative companies like Wells Fargo, Prosper, Snapfish, and Ask Jeeves, where I've led design and illustration initiatives that have impacted millions of users worldwide.
When I'm not working on UX projects, you'll probably find me guarding the goal for my ice hockey team in Oakland, CA or out in the Bay Area working in my sketchook.

Tools
Every great experience starts with the right tools. Here's what's in my stack.
Framer
My go-to for high-fidelity interactive prototypes. Framer lets me build production-quality animations and micro-interactions that communicate intent far better than static mockups - bridging the gap between design and engineering with zero ambiguity.
Figma
The foundation of every project. I use Figma for everything from early wireframes to pixel-perfect UI and full design systems. Auto-layout, variables, and component architecture keep my files clean, scalable, and developer-ready from day one.
